Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the prompt response. Ideally I want to use an ICC with an embedded curve as I use LR to manage my images, and print. That is I don't want to have to enter PS to apply a curve to print the image :)

Is this document still the recommended process for embedded a curve in an ICC?

This can be done with either QTR or the Epson dirver -- with PS curves preferably in an ICC.  I think there are profiles in a zip file linked to the PDF>
